Hearing Center

More Information

It is estimated that more than 28 million people in the United States have some form of hearing loss. Yet, many of these people -- especially those with a mild to moderate loss -- are unaware that they have a problem. It often goes unnoticed because hearing loss is almost always painless and usually occurs gradually.

Hearing loss can hamper quality of life, cause misunderstandings, heighten stress and cause unnecessary fatigue. It is the third leading ailment afflicting people over 65.
